Around November of last year, I hid my scale to it would know own me
any more. I had become obsessed with the scale and what the number said,
and I allowed that number to dictate my self worth. I believe I am
finally in a place where that number will no longer rule me. So.. I got
the scale out, and the number it showed we was shocking..

However,
I did not let that get me down. I simply thought to myself.. well..
When I lose all of this weight, it will look even more impressive.
Awesome, I have more weight to lose, and more to be proud of when it is
gone. And my before and after pictures are going to be so much better!

I
do want to admit that it is really hard for me to post this number. I
really am opening myself up here and laying it all out in the open.
Writing on a blog that anyone can read is very scary. However, I know
that I have to take these risks, and allow myself to be vulnerable, or I
will never grow.

So here goes nothing: 220.4. (I weigh in first thing in the morning, wearing nothing but my skin and a smile. )

Now, I want to post about my goals and what I intend to do, so I never see that number again.

Goals for this week:

Work out every day. Even if it is just walk with my doggy. I want to do something every day.

Eat clean Monday through Friday. Nothing processed. Just good ol
fashioned food. (Friday is Valentines day, and I am SO going out to eat
on Saturday! )

Eat under 1500 calories a day. Which is actually a lot of food if you are eating clean.

Drink 100 oz of water a day. Not soda, not juice, not crystal lite..
just water. ( I will admit that I LOVE diet coke. I did quit caffeine,
so I have been drinking caffeine free diet coke, and loving every minute
of it.. but not this week.

I will report back mid week to let you know how I am doing. :) And every Friday, I am going to weigh in!
